During a rise in Buck creek, K*. Miss Nannie Lee and sister, aged 12,’, attempted to. cross the creek, both on: horse. When they got near the middle of the stream the horse became entangled in some brash and threw them into the foaming stream, and went to the bank and shook the saddle off?* Miss Nannie had sunk twiee when he* sister caught her by the hair, and the horse went to> them, turned around and the younger sister caught him by the tail with one hand, and, holding Nannie with the other, reached the shore safe-, ly. The horse started home in a gallop and neighed as if in great trouble; but getting no one to notice him, he started back in full speed to the girls. Finding them both alive and on their way, home, he ran up to them and rubbed his head on their shoulders and neiglied as if was very glad to. see them alive.
